Three guesses why.

From National Catholic Reporter (emphasis mine):

"Though an aging readership [the average age of an NCR reader is 68] is not unique to us, it does raise concerns when planning for the future. At NCR, we’ve been discussing for some time the ongoing polarization within our church. Whichever way one turns in the church, there’s a new battleground taking shape. It’s hardly life-giving for anyone, regardless of where one falls on the political spectrum. Many Catholics, particularly the young, have left quietly in search of something more meaningful."
